The New Zealand locals told Newshub that were next to board the doomed Thunder River Rapids flume when they decided to let the people behind them jump the queue, as they waited for the woman's mother to catch up.

That simple act of generosity seemingly saved their lives.

Instead it was Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett, Roozi Araghi, Cindy Low and two young children that boarded the flume destined to tragically overturn mid-ride, killing the four adults and putting a 10-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl in hospital.

We are deeply shocked and saddened by today’s accident; our hearts and thoughts go to the families involved and their loved ones.
